Where do you live?
You can live off 2k a month here in Miami if you live with your parents.. An efficiency down here averages $1,000-$1,300 a month for rent.. That’s basically a 12x12 room with a bathroom and little portable stove top and half sized fridge.. Count food, car payment, insurance (which here has some of the highest rates in the country, PIP is like $150 a month), utilities, gas, phone bill, internet/cable etc and you’re over 2k a month easy.. And not everyone lives in an efficiency.. An apartment in a decent area, not a rich area but a decent, middle class area will be anywhere from $1600-$2,000 a month, a house is anywhere from $2,200-$3,000+ a month depending on the size and location of the house.. Even in the ghetto/poverty areas down here, an apartment in an area where you literally have crack heads and prostitutes outside and crime everywhere (apartments in these areas have metal on the windows and doors for the bullets just in case because high gun violence is normal) will still cost $1,000-$1,300 a month.. And that’s just rent.. Count all the utilities and expenses and you’re way over 2k a month.. If you’re in an apartment or house in a decent area then forget it, that 2k is your rent IF THAT..
It’s not enough for some areas... You think 2k a month is enough in LA or New York as well? Lmao 2k a month is renting a closet in NY..
And not just that, but what effect will all that stimulus have on the economy in the long run is my main question..
